Take advantage of Tajic's indestructibility to frequently board wipe, and stack his battalion bonus to win by commander damage.

Tajic's battalion bonus is "+5/+5 until end of turn". So with Aurelia, the Warleader / Waves of Aggression / Aggravated Assault / Savage Beating / Godo, Bandit Warlord+ Slayers' Stronghold , he hits for 7 the first round and 12 the second round. Added to any of the many +1 or +2 effects, or a 2-point cheap shot earlier in the game, and that's a single-turn commander damage win. With double strike (Boros Charm / Sunhome, Fortress of the Legion / Silverblade Paladin) or double damage (Gisela, Blade of Goldnight / Savage Beating / Gratuitous Violence / Inquisitor's Flail) or with Strionic Resonator, our efficient 4-cost general punches harder than Darksteel Colossus and is just as indestructible.

This deck uses "direct damage to all" effects in place of "destroy all" effects (wrath and such). Boros Reckoner turns Blasphemous Act into a 13-point Glasgow kiss, or doubles up Pyrohemia damage onto precision targets. (Quietus Spike turns him into Vasily Zaytsev.) The en-Kor family route any damage received (from blockers or from damage-wipes) onto Tajic / Purphoros / Angelic Overseer / Boros Reckoner, preserving them as battalion friends. Rune-Tail, Kitsune Ascendant prevents the damage altogether, and Reconnaisanse lets them attack but not die if blocked. Boros Charm and Frontline Medic are cheap enough that we can make our creatures indestructible the same turn we pay for a board wipe. Post-board wipe, even if Tajic is the only one standing, we can animate the Keyrune, Mutavault, or use any of our token generators to get back to battalion strength.

The when-dies or when-ETB critters combo nicely with with Kiki-Jiki / Gift of Immortality / Galepowder Mage / Ghostway / Flickerwisp / Strionic Resonator.

Saman Khuda founded the Samanid Dynasty and with it the nation that we now call Tajikistan.
